HYPE MAN: a break beat play Presented by Company One Theatre January 26, 2018–February 24, 2018 BCA Plaza Theatre

Frontman Pinnacle and his hype man Verb have been making Hip-Hop together since they were kids. Now that they’ve got top-notch beatmaker Peep One in the mix, the group is finally on the verge of making it big—until the police shooting of an unarmed black teenager shakes the trio to its core, and forces them to navigate issues of friendship, race, and privilege. The latest from break beat poet and playwright Idris Goodwin (HOW WE GOT ON), HYPE MAN asks us: Who has the privilege of staying silent in the face of social injustice?
